Maedhros, who owes the victim a great debt, insists on setting off himself to try and find a Sindarin healer. Celvandil, his stable-master, accompanies him on his search.

B2MeM Challenge: 2016 Memories; 2007 Alphabet – like a gasping Galadriel “It is said that the towers of Emyn Beraid were not built indeed by the Exiles of Númenor, but were raised by Gil-galad for Elendil, his friend; and the Seeing Stone of Emyn Beraid was set in Elostirion, the tallest of the towers. Thither Elendil would repair, and thence he would gaze out over the sundering seas, when the yearning of exile was upon him; and it is believed that thus he would at whiles see far away even the Tower of Avallónë upon Eressëa, where the Masterstone abode, and yet abides.”

B2MeM Challenge: 2016 Memories; 2007 Alphabet – like an evil ElrondFormat: Poem – Pantoum Genre: Um…character study, I think.Rating: PGWarnings: Mention of the attack of the Havens of Sirion, though nothing graphic.Characters: Eärendil, Elwing, Elros, ElrondPairings: Eärendil/Elwing Creators' Notes (optional): This pantoum is rather longer than usual, since it’s based off the ‘Song of Eärendil’. It may be found in Elrond’s Library – on a shelf so high no hobbit can reach it! (That’s what makes him evil. *nods* Hiding poetry from a poem-loving hobbit! Oh well, maybe Aragorn will be kind and fetch it for him? I had a terrible time thinking of a way to make Elrond evil, believe you me. :P )Summary: Elrond, hearing the Song of Eärendil sung by Bilbo in the Hall of Fire, retired to his rooms afterward and took up his own pen. This is what came out.

"Eärendil was a marinerthat tarried in Arvernien;he built a boat of timber felledin Nimbrethil to journey in…”

Summary: An old soldier waits for his captain to return. Surely he will return to fight for Gondor in her time of greatest need! But that time comes and passes, and Thorongil does not come. But then there is a knock at the door…
